<font color='#810541'>I'd like to make up a harness, so I'd be interested in about 5 metres of the stuff.

Is it still available?

How does it compare to that semi reflective dogs danglies that someone was touting?

I'd also like 5m to keep as a spare if you still have any available.

OK, I'll bite. &nbsp;Digs, why is stiffer better? &nbsp;If your harness is adjustable then why would it matter?

Not being one to follow the herd and all that...

It does not crease and therefore it spreads the load of the set better.

If it folds logitudinally, then it gets quite uncomfortable.

<font color='#000080'>Right. Digger and Woz seriously stiff webbing now available to buy online from www.kitfondle.co.uk. I've also got the soft stuff too for the crotch straps. You'll find the webbing on the WozPlates page.

Ta Da!

And BTW no, I haven't got any other colour apart from black unless you would like to order 1/2 a mile of the stuff.

'K thx Woz, I'll look.
btw, did you get the PM I sent about machining a battery cannister?
Could you point me in the right direction if it's not something that you can do?

<font color='#000080'>Foggy, the semi-reflective stuff I had was a while back, but I do have about 4m left. It's not as stiff as this stuff, but is still thick and holds its shape reasonably. Holds well on the harness without slipping.

If you want it, PM me and we'll get it sorted, probably knock it out at the same price as the stiff stuff, it's a one-off, as it's not available from any UK supplier I can find. I like the new stiff stuff Woz has got, and my harnesses are now getting done with that, but if you want the semi-reflective we can work something out.

Digs.

<font color='#000080'>And John, don't get me started on the AP Valves harness. I think Dom has summed it up well enough on his website. The webbing they use is ideal for crotch straps, useless for shoulder and waist.

THe adjustable harness debate is another one altogether, but this new stuff when adjusted will stay where you put it, instead of the soft AP stuff that pulls through those pinch clips gradually with a decent sized set on it.

Get yourself down to kitfondle.co.uk, do the right thing.

<font color='#810541'>Digs,
Thanx for the info, but I'm kitfondling now, so I'll order some black stuff that way.

How much webbing do you need for a crotch strap? (no sizist comments please)

Cheers
